BRITISH AFFAIRS.
Ireland the All-AbsorbinE Topic In the
House of Commons.

lfetanu the AIl-ADSOfDluS IN tHe
House of Commons.
New YORK, January 29th-A. THE
Tribules London special says Ireland
has again taken the first place in the House
OF Commons. The speeches last night
dealt chiefly with the affairs OF that coun-
try. In the lobby the Irish policy of the
Government was the all-absorbing topic.
The best speech on the Irish side was made
by Timothy Harrington, who delivered a
scathing review of the action of the Irish
Executive. 1t bristled all over with facts
relating to the rent question and landlord
inhumanity. The Government were totally
unable to disprove his statements. Har-
rington tormented Hicks-Beach with
| trenchant criticisms, aud held up his Of
fetal conduct, since he took the Office of
Chief Secretary, TO merciless attack and
ridicule.
cHAMBERLAIN's POSITION.
Chamberlain's attitude on the proposed
reunion of the Liberals mas become ques-
ton of first class importance in view of the
turn Irish affairs are taking in Parliament.
Recently it was stated, on the authority Of
a member of the late conference, that Glad
stone had made no concessions, and the only
approach to concessions had come from
Chamberlain. Subsequent reports appear to
contradict this, and to indicate that Cham
berlain was undecided in what course to
steer. Last night member of the Glad
stone State Administration stated that
Chamberlain is at last positively woD ever
to the Gladstone side. This may not at
once appear on the surface, as there are diff
ficulties in the way OF an immediate
resumption of cordial relations. There
is no doubt, however, as DO Chamber
lain's personal co cooperation with Glad
stone on the broad ground of Liberal
policy. The same informant stated that
Gladstones position in other respects is
daily improving and he is now confident
of defeating the Tories on vital measures
outside of home rule. 1t is upon this basis,
probably, that Chamberlain and Gladstone
will join forces and turn out the Govern
ment. The Gladstone managers consider
that Churchilrs speech has greatly dam
aged the Tory party in the borough con-

Not Quite So Defiant.

NEw YORK, January 2Sth.-Patrick
Smith, late clerk of st. Stephens parish,
and acting as DR.. MoGlynn's Secretary,
says on DR.. McGlynn's authority that the
latter, in his letter of December 10Th, in
formed the Archbishop that he had for
some time reason to feel concerned about
his health, and that his physician positively
forbade him to undertake journey to
Rome. In the same letter Dr.. McGiynn
gave other reasons why he could not go,
one of which-while entirely creditable to
DR.. McGlynn-was of private character,
relating so to others that it would have
been highly indelicate for the Archbishop
TO publish it.

How sulphur Matche. Are Made.

Nearly all the operations of match
making are now carried on by machinery.
The wood is first sawed into blocks of
uniform length. usually and a half
inches long. or the length of the match.
These blocks are then fed into the cut
ting MACHINE, which cuts twelve matches
at every stroke. To make round matches
the wood is forced through perforations
in metal plates. The splints are then
pushed into Stats arranged on a double
chain $50 feet long. On this they are
carried 10 the sulphur vat, dipped therein
by a mechanical movement and then in
the same mnnner 90 the phosphorus vat
and dipped, Machines are also used for
asaking the boxes and packing the splints
therein.
As the consumption Of matches is most
enormous-bcing estimated al six a day
for every man, woman and child in Eu-
rope and North Amcrica-thev form an
important article If commerce, and the
invention Of machinery for their manu-
facture has proved Of great advantage.
But the especial value Of machinery is
that it has so largely reduced the NOR
tally caused by working over the phos-
phorus. The substance, when heated,
throws off fumes which cannot lie con-
tinuOusly brCathcd without causing dis
ease. In iarge factories IA, 900 small
boxes Of matches are often made and
packed ready for shipping in a single
day.-Philadelphia Times.

An English surgeon claims TO have dis
covered the cause Of clergymen's sore
Threats. No other speakers are affected
in this way, and he has come to the con-
clusiOn that the malady is induced by
speaking down to a congregation from an
elevated pulpit, thereby depressing the
vocal organs and causing irritation and
congestion. If clergymen would hold the
head erect and speak up they would never
have throat trouble, and ever if already
suffering to some extent they may cure
themselves by speaking in a right position.
There are bad habits of phonation. breath
ing, etc, which a good teacher can easily
correct, hut the bending forward Of the
head and hanging over the sermon while
reading it is worst of all. and any man
can correct himself in it.-Living Church.

Boils and Their Treatment.

That which in every day talk is called
a boil. sometimes bile or ''beel, p" tech
nical writers call a furuncle. This word
is of Latin derivation, the original slgni-
flying a petty thief. and in view of the
fact that few tritles can so effectually rob
n mar Of his peace Of mind il would ap-
pear that furuncle were the better maine
for the trouble in question, which is cir
cumscribed inflammation occurring in
the skin and tissues Immediately there
under.
Boils. like death, claim all seasons for
their own, and may come singly or in
groups The coincidence of boils and
general systematic diseases is common.
When OF however boils appear the victim
should regard them much the same as a
railroad man regards a danger signal and
call a halt. Inquiry into the condition of
a furunculous patient will, as a rule, re-
veal two facts-a Initiated condition Of
the blood and local violence, frequently
in the way Of chatting by close fitting
neckwear or other clothing.
What has just been said makes it toler-
ably clear what those suffering from
boils want &c do. All sources Of local
irritation should be removed and tones,
good food. rest, change OF aiI, etc..
made use of Heat and moisture are
remedies the local Use of which is very
useful. \ small bag Of thin, old muslin
does well 10 hold the time honored poul-
tice with which it is well 10 incorporate a
tablespoonful of lard or some other
unctuous substance.
The simplest and best local application
for boils is the pouring thereon of water
as hot as can be horne. Tins gives much
relief and no doubt hastens the forma-
ton of pus in the boil, an event whose
occurrence is signalized by the cessation
Of the ~throbbivg pain so familiar TO those
who have suffered from f~uruncle. Boils
may at times be nipped in the bud, so TO
speak, by painting around them very
,arly with tincture of iodine Philadel-

The Parse chair is announced as
the successor Of the hammock. A sea-
shore correspondent who has seen one
describes IL as a sort Of box or cradle Of
mahogany, with a high back and low
sides. 1t is covered with Hindu rugs and
two large, soft pillows worked in rich
Turkish embroidery. AT each corner the
chair ia supported by ropes which depend
from the roof and which run through
hollow pieces of mahogany, making the
supports seem like slender and flexible
wooden columns. "In the Parsee chair
